help!!! history project build a castle

hi,does anyone know how to build a really cool castle for a history project my son came home and anounced that he needs to bild a castle over the next few weeks which is cool but i am no good at anything like that and want it to be pretty cool as he has been naughty since starting seniors and the history teacher has had most of it as he is now atlast turning over a new leaf i want him to prove to himself and others what he can do when he puts his mind to it,i have searched the web but can not find any good sites yet, thanks

What type of castle do you need to make? We made one recently and our daughter had a picture from school of the type she had to make. Ours was 1066 (can't remember the name of the top of my head ). We also looked at the library and the net.

Hiya Ruth im not artistic but just a thought
how about some toliet roll holders carboard ones for the towers painted grey with detail stonework and a window ect. for main castle bit a tissue box standing up and get an extra bit of card and make a drawbridge? paint it all to match in grey and stone coloured. and if wanted to be extra special add a moat not real just large bit of paper coloured blue for water around castle and green for grass

As a History teacher, I suggest a Motte and Bailey castle. These were the castles built by the Normans after their invasion in 1066. At first these were wooden, for speed of building, then gradually replaced by stone.

I think this may help...

Hi. My name is Tia. I am doing a History project at the moment, and I went on a site and found how to make a paper of paper mashay castle ( can't remember off the top of my head!). Just type into google, How to build a castle. When it comes up with Build a Medieval castle, click on it and it should come up with options. It will show you a picture of what it should look like, and instructions and what you need.
I hope this helps
